This week, we chat with two graduate students working on their master’s in Space Studies! Specifically, discussing the Rendezvous & Operations for Autonomous Docking and Servicing (ROADS) satellite mission. UND has established a dedicated satellite operations training facility, including satellites, ground stations, and a mission control center. This initiative gives students real-world experience in mission operations through a pair of 3U satellites equipped with six degrees of freedom propulsion, three-axis attitude control, and multi-band communication systems.
UND ROADS 1 and UND ROADS 2 were successfully launched into Low Earth Orbit aboard the SpaceX Falcon 9 Transporter 14 Rideshare mission on June 23, 2025.
UND Aerospace is a world-renowned center for aerospace learning, nationally acclaimed for our achievements in collegiate aviation education, atmospheric research, space studies, and earth system science and policy research. With more than 500 faculty and staff members, 1,800+ students from around the world, and myriad programs and projects, the John D. Odegard School of Aerospace Sciences is setting the pace for the future of flight.
